The point isn't to trick NCMEC, but rather create a DoS attack so no actual triggers can get through the noise.

I thought the point was to SWAT some innocent person? The goal keeps changing.
But who would want that?

We all want privacy but it seems odd to try to DoS this, with high risk for yourself and very little to gain.

Might be useful when the system turns into mass political surveillance tho.

As I've commented elsewhere, DoS can be easily mitigated by implementing another layer with basic object recognition to filter out false positive collisions.
